Retailer Cartridge World is to open three north west stores this month as it continues to post big like-for-like sales increases.

The chain is to begin trading from sites in Shaw, near Oldham, Burnley and Liverpool to add to the 42 outlets already operating in the region.

The group today announced a 12 per cent hike in like-for-like revenues during the final quarter of 2009 and plans for a new Business Direct service for corporate clients, offering free collection and delivery and flexible credit.

Cartridge World sells refilled and remanufactured cartridges to commercial and domestic users which it says reduces the amount of landfill waste and helps customers to cut costs.

Adam Davison, the retailer’s business development manager for the north west, said: “Independent research has shown that the single biggest complaint most businesses have against their printers and all-in-ones is the cost of consumables.

“While hardware prices typically continue to fall, the cost of printer cartridges continues to rise. We feel that the launch of Cartridge World Business Direct is a very timely solution which will help businesses of all sizes.”
